OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. i

Patented July mi, 1918.

Application ined August 15, 1917 f sei-iai No. 126.358.

To all whom t may Concern:

Be it known that I, Lnox K. lnncnnu. a citizen ot the UnitedStates, residing at New York, in the county and State ot New York. have invented certain new and uset'ul lmprovements in Oil-Burners. of which the tollowing is a full. clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to pil vapor but-ners, and has for its object to provide a burner ot' this kind in which the regularity of the flow is assured and there is no danger ot flooding. Other obj/eets will appear as the description proceeds.

The invention will be first/hereinafter described in connection with the, accompanying drawings, which constitute part of this specification, and then more specifically defined in the claims at the end of the description. X.

ln the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to designatcf corresponding parts throughout the. several views :g

Figure 1. is a broken side elevation ot' a burner constructed substantially in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line ll-ll of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a right hand end view of the burner.

The; threaded nipple 1 is designed to he attached to any source ot oil supply, and is connected by means of the threads at one,

y end to the T-conpling 'lhe middle portion ot the nippley between its` threaded ends is formed with a wrench surface Q for turning it up. The, T-coupling is connected to a gas generating pipe or chamber 4 extending horizontally and tilted with a plurality ot rods 5, tor rctarding the tlow of the oil through said pipe. rl`he other end ot' the pipe it is connected to an elbow which is turned upward and connected to another elbow 7 leading to another horizont-al pipe .Q arranged above and a little to one side ot the. pipe 4. 'lhe other end ot' the pipe S is t) which is turned downward and 'connected to a smaller gage pipe. 1t) which is attached by means otf an elbow 11 on its lower end to the horizontal burner pipe 'l2 the At'ree cud ot' which is stopped by a plug or cap 14.

The T-coupling 3 is also attached to a depending solid rod vl5 which is fastened at its lower end to a block 16, whereby one end ot the burner is supported. The other end ot' th'el burner is supporteddiy another block 1i' similar to the bl'ock 1ty'except that instead ol the rod l'ifitds'provided with an 60 upward projection ttt oh which the free end of thebnrner pipe 12 rests. The. two blocks 1G and 17 are connected by a trough 18 extending directly below the but-ner pipe,

which in turn is directly belowthe gas 'getti-65 erating pipe t. the pipe S, which will be. called the drying and expansion pipe or chamber, [being above and in the vertical plane determined by the gene-rating pipe 4 and the burner pipe, 1Q. the openings 13v in said burner rectly upon the generating owing to the presence ot thel therein which break up' as well as retard pipe play dipipe 4, and filling of rods the flow ol the oil, the latter is quickly con- 75 rerted into vapor capable of burning with a blue flame.

'lhe vaporization of the oil and the proper feeding thereot' to the burner pipe is greatly improved by the dries the gas generated in the pipe 4 to some extent and allows said gas to expand, and by the reducing elbow 9 and pipe 10, which further retard the flow of the vapor to th`8\ burner pipe. The generating pipe 4 carries 8) a pair of llame detlectors 2O arranged .bove the openings 13 in the burner pipe 12. These detlectors may be adjusted by means ot' the set screws Q1 to different inclination toward either side, as suggested in dotted 2, for directing the flames tu; one llame llame in the lines in Fig. against a waterback or an oven, in one direction and the other opposite direction, as desired.

use of the pipe 8 which 80 The flames from 70 vVhenthe oil. lsupply is first turned on to the pipe f1 through thenipple 1, a small quantity ot intlanunable material 22, Fig. Q, is placed in the trough 18 and ignited, so that the tlame therefrom will act in place ot' the flames from the burner pipe 1.2 for B0@ the trough,

a iiow of the oil burner pipe' l2 directly below `the pipe LL, and the pipe 8 at least three-fourths of its diameter over the pipe 4, so that seid pipe 8 is 'protected from the dirent beat` of the emes from the burner pipe 1Q by the pipe L and the deieetors 2O mounted thereon.

Having thus-deeoribed my invention, what claim es new and desire toseonre by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. in a burner of the character deScribed,

the combination with burner, of n generating pipejnrrnnged directly over the burner, eine deiectors on said generating pipe, a drying and expansion pipe arranged over the generating pipe and communicating therewith, Said drying and expnnsionpipe being protected from the Haine by the generating pipe and the defeetore thereon, and

a pipe of smaller gage than the drying and expansion pipe leading therefrom t0 the urner.

2. In :i burner of the character described, the combination with a burner, of a gener- .ating'pipe arranged directly over the burner,

n drying and expansion pipe arranged above the generating pipe, means of communication between one end oi the drying and expension pipe and the generating pipe and between the other end of said drying and expansion ipe and the burner, and illings of rods in t e generating pipe and drying and erpnnsion pipe for retin-ding the How in said pipes.

In testimony wbereoicl I have signed' my' neme to this specification..
